F.A.Q.'s
Why do we need basic life support?
If a person suffers heart failure every second counts. Performing basic life support on a casualty provides oxygen to vital organs and buys time until professional help arrives.
By performing CPR the casualty has a increased chance of survival, your actions make a difference between life or death.
About
Resuscitation Council (UK): changes to Adult Basic Life Support protocol
In October 2010, changes were announced to the BLS protocol in order to
reflect current best medical practices.
The main points to note are as follows:
1.When obtaining help, ask for an automated external
defibrillator (AED), if one is available
2.Compress the chest to a depth of 5-6 cm and at a rate
of 100- 120 per min.
3.Give each rescue breath over 1 second rather than 2
4.Do not stop to check the victim or discontinue CPR
unless the victim starts to show signs of regaining consciousness.
Fortunately for our clients, these changes will have minimal effect regarding training given to your employees. This is due to our ethos of proactive basic life support which emphasises; strong, vigorous chest compressions and minimal down time to deliver rescue breaths, in line with the latest scientific and medical thinking from both Europe and the U.S.
Additionally an introduction to A.E.Ds, their sourcing and use is taught and encouraged on all courses run by Welund Training Solutions.

Where does training take place?

What certification will I receive?
We will provide you with a certificate stating that you have attended a course on Basic or Emergency Life Support or Manual Handling, and have demonstrated understanding and relevant skills. These certificates do not have a time limit however it is recommended by the Resuscitation Council that individuals refresh their training yearly.
Certification for the First Aid at Work is limited to three years and will state that a delegate has successfully completed a first aid at work course.
